Why Terri Schiavo Matters
Bloomberg.com: Top Worldwide
At 25, Terri became incacpacitated after less than 5 years of marriage. The 15 years since has brought her husband another woman and children, and he should not have rights to make life or death decisions on her behalf. We will be judged as a civilsation by how we treat severely disabled and aged. There are thousands of like this poor woman. A system that says mercy killing is illegal but allows state sponsored death by starvation is a monstrous horror.
